A dear friend called me one evening and strongly recommended I read the book Medical Mediumby Anthony William. So much of the information in the book resonated with me that I began incorporating some of the ideas, then I sought and was lucky enough to get a consultation. The reading was so spot-on, it has taken my healing to an unimagined, deeper, and richer level of health. My weight has dropped healthily, I can enjoy bike riding and yoga, I’m back in the gym, I have steady energy, and I sleep deeply.

That’s what I think of when I think of Anthony William and his profound contributions to the world. Nothing made this fact so clear to me as seeing him work with an old friend who had been struggling for years with illness, brain fog, and fatigue. She had been to countless doctors and healers and had gone through multiple protocols. Nothing worked. Until Anthony talked to her, that is . . . from there, the results were astounding. I highly recommend his books, lectures, and consultations. Don’t miss this healing opportunity!”— Nick Ortner, New York Times best-selling author of The Tapping Solution for Manifesting Your Greatest Self and The Tapping Solution“Esoteric talent is only a complete gift when it’s shared with moral integrity and love.

Some of Anthony’s clients spent over $1 million seeking help for their ‘mystery illness’ until they finally discovered him.”— Nanci Chambers, co-star of JAG; Hollywood producer and entrepreneur“I had a health reading from Anthony, and he accurately told me things about my body only known to me.

Book SynopsisA comprehensive reference and healing tool to address the emotional and psychological causes of illness • Uncovers the conflicted conscious or unconscious feelings, thoughts, and emotions at the root of nearly 900 ailments and diseases • Details a unique Integration and Acceptance Technique for accessing information through the heart and thereby starting the healing process for emotions and feelings • Provides positive affirmations to effect change for each ailment and disease What if your body used a secret language to talk to you? What if an ailment or illness was your body’s way to shout for help, to make you understand that you need to change your thoughts, emotions, feelings, and behaviors? Your body wants you to become aware of the stress that you carry, conscious or not, so you can release unmanaged past and present emotions and the physical complaints that accompany them. Compiling years of research and the results of thousands of cases he encountered in his private practice and during workshops over the past 30 years, Jacques Martel explains how to read and understand the body’s language of disease and imbalance. In this encyclopedia, he shows how body language reveals specific thoughts, feelings, and emotions that are at the source of nearly 900 different ailments and diseases. The author also details his Integration and Acceptance Technique, which enables healing information to bypass the brain and connect directly with the heart. This technique disables the source of the conflict, conscious or not, that could be at the root of an illness, behavior, or condition and improves the chances of true healing. This comprehensive manual offers a tool to help each of us become, to some extent, our own doctor or therapist, get to know ourselves better, and recover health and well-being physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. For practitioners and therapists, this remarkable reference tool provides invaluable insights and prompts for healing.Trade Review“The Encyclopedia of Ailments and Diseases is not a book to read. It’s a book to treasure and consult when you need guidance and support in deciphering the messages your body is trying to convey to you. All explanations are written in the first person, and the author cleverly encourages us to read in syllables, very slowly. As a result, the act of reading itself can positively affect the third chakra and the third level of the aura (the mental chakra and level). Reading becomes healing. This encyclopedia is a truly comprehensive source of information regarding psychosomatic disorders.” * TJITZE DE JONG, Brennan Healing Science practitioner and author of Energetic Cellular Healing and Ca *“I have been a therapist for 21 years and work with The Encyclopedia of Ailments and Diseases in my practice daily. I highly recommend it to my clients because it can help them relieve their physical and emotional ailments. I use the encyclopedia as a complement to the techniques I use. The information it contains is comprehensive, easy to understand, and accessible to all. It provides food for thought to help my clients make positive changes in their lives.” * RICHARD CLOUTIER, naturopath and massage therapist, Centre du Renouveau, Québec *“Global science has developed a holistic view of health as a phenomenon that supports its four parts--physical, mental, social, and spiritual. All of these parts are closely interconnected and in a harmonious unity, constantly interacting with each other. This book is a unique reference tool that reveals the emotional and psychological causes of illnesses. It indicates feelings, thoughts, and emotions at the level of the consciousness and the subconscious present in more than 900 diseases and ailments. It explains the method of heart integration and acceptance of information that initiates the process of healing, and it offers positive affirmations that transform ailments and illnesses. Medical workers can use this book in their practice and for research to help patients in their healing process.” * OLEG SHEKERA, M.D. , professor of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine *“I have been using this book for a few years. At the beginning, I was only consulting when needed but recently I have read it in its entirety. This book is a real bible on the subject. You will find what emotional state corresponds to each illness or discomfort in the body. A wart? Shoulder pain? There is no coincidence. These ailments always reflect an internal conflict between your body and mind. Any therapist or individual who wishes to be in tune with their body and their emotions should use this as a reference book.” * LUDIVINE STAHL, France *“I’m a firm believer in diving deep into the personal world of emotions and beliefs in order to unravel issues presenting in the physical body.

Book SynopsisThe Shining may be the first movie that ever made its audience jump with a title that simply says, Tuesday,' proclaimed The New York Times. Never has a film evoked so much dread in its audience with so little gore than Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of the 1977 novel by the master of terror himself, Stephen King, where true horror lies in the darkest corners of domesticity and isolation. Equally a study of the intricate mechanics of Kubrick's genius as an in-depth look at the making of a visual masterpiece, Stanley Kubrick's The Shining gathers hundreds of hours of exclusive new interviews with the cast and crew in an unprecedented look at the 1980 cult classic. Slip in through the back door of The Overlook Hotel to witness Kubrick's endless rounds of script rewrites, his revolutionary use of the Steadicam, the mechanics behind the infamous blood elevator, the mysterious mid-filming fire at Elstree Studios, and the countless takes needed to satisfy the meticulous force that was Kubrick. Conceived and edited by Academy Award-winning director Lee Unkrich, dubbed by The Hollywood Reporter as the world''s foremost Shining aficionado, with text by best-selling author J.W. Rinzler and a foreword by Steven Spielberg, this is the definitive compendium of the film that transformed the horror genre. The two-volume collection designed by M/M Paris includes hundreds of never-before-seen production photographs from the Stanley Kubrick Archive and the personal collections of cast and crew, rare documents and correspondence, conceptual art, an exclusive look at deleted scenes, and more.

A lovingly created journal tells a story. It provides a fascinating glimpse into your world and is a beautiful object in its own right to be cherished by generations to come.

All of the techniques are explained with clear instructions and step-by-step photographs, so even those who are just setting out on their creative journey will find inspiration and all the know-how they need to make their own gorgeous daydream journals.Trade ReviewDaydream Journals by Tilly Rose is jam packed with inspiration for those looking to create mixed media journals. Tilly shares the techniques and inspirations behind her beautiful journals, teaching you how to use fabric, paper, embroidery and natural products like flowers, leaves, berries and twigs to create unique masterpieces. This book is not so much a step-by-step instruction manual for creating exact replicas of her journals. Rather it is one that gives you the starting point for creating your own unique journals. She shares her sources of inspiration, as well as well as giving advice on finding your own. Some of the many techniques covered in the book include Indian block printing, flower tapping, solar dying, creating natural dyes, adding embellishments, embroidery stitches, applique and crazy patchwork. The first half of the book is focused on inspiration and techniques, the second half is project based. The projects are intended more as a starting point, showing you the basic steps for creating the items featured but encouraging you to decide upon the finer details yourself. So that your finished project will be personal and unique. There are a few different journal projects plus a button jar project and a small embroidered bag. See the collage below for some of the projects from the book. This gorgeous book is sure to have you bursting with inspiration and ready to stitch your own daydream journal in no time! -- Fiona Pullen * The Sewing Directory *A sense of family and relationships, nature, and memories emanates from Rose's special way to journal. With more than just words and doodles, UK-based author Rose (Stitched Memories, 2018) encourages readers to seriously stop, smell, hear, and taste their surroundings as journaling inspiration. She encourages the addition of flowers and other botanicals using methods (some of which she invented) like squishing, petal washing, flower tapping, berry squishing, leaf imprints, and solar dyeing. These techniques are further boosted by creativity with fabric and thread, such as couching and appliqué, all explained with good captions and colour photographs. As for the mystery of putting it all together, plenty of paper clips, safety pins, glue, and other adherents become the foundation for eight projects, most of which are books, like "diary of a fen gal," inspired by nature walks. There's also a "jar of smiles" to hold odds and ends; a scrolled journal; and a purse. Fusing craft and nature, Rose's endeavour emits an otherworldly aura. -- Barbara Jacobs * Booklist *Textile artists find inspiration all around them, from fleeting memories to treasured items, sketches, poems and photos. Why not collect and record everything in a stunning journal? These eight designs include techniques such as layering, collage, hand embroidery, transferring designs to cloth, stamping, applique, embellishing, patchwork and free motion machine embroidery. * Machine Knitting Monthly *Even those who are just setting out on their creative journey will find inspiration and all the know-how they need to make their own gorgeous daydream journals. -- Craft Focus * Craft Focus *This book is an absolute delight!

Book SynopsisMany today may see the relationship between God and humanity as one of passive submission and thus unquestioning. Two outstanding Dominicans, Timothy Radcliffe and Lukasz Popko. suggest otherwise. Questioning God explores Biblical conversations with God and there is no genuine conversation without true questions. Our God question us, from the first conversation of God and humanity in the Bible, where God asks Adam, ''Where are you?'', to the Risen Lord''s questioning Peter on the beach: ''Do you love me more than these others?'' But humanity questions God too, as in the audacious questioning of Jesus by the Samaritan woman at the well. In this process of mutual questioning, humanity is drawn ever deeper into the life of God, the eternal conversation of the Trinity. Insights into these transformative conversations are helpful as the Church questions how to be faithful to God in this uncertain time. Fr Popko offers a fresh translation and insights of Biblical s

Book SynopsisAn authoritative account of Xi Jinping''s worldview and how it drives Chinese behaviour both domestically and on the world stage.In his new book, On Xi Jinping, former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd provides an authoritative account of the ideological worldview driving Chinese behaviour both domestically and on the world stage--that of President Xi Jinping, who now hold near-total control over the Chinese Communist Party and is now, in effect, president-for-life. Rudd argues that Xi''s worldview differs significantly from those of the leaders who preceded him, and that this ideological shift is reflected in the real world of Chinese policy and behaviour. Focusing on China''s domestic politics, political economy, and foreign policy, Rudd characterises Xi Jinping''s ideological framing of the world as Marxist-Leninist nationalism. According to Rudd, Xi''s notion of Leninism has taken the party and Chinese politics further to the left in comparison to his predecessors. Also, his Marxism has also taken Chinese economic thinking to the left-in a more decisively more statist direction and away from the historical dynamism of the private sector. However, Chinese nationalism under Xi has moved further to the right- towards a much, harder-edged, foreign policy vision of China and a new determination to change the international status quo. Xi''s worldview is an integrated one, where his national ideological vision for China''s future is ultimately inseparable from his view on China''s position in the region and the world. These changes in worldview are also reflected in Xi''s broader rehabilitation of the concept of struggle as a legitimate concept for the conduct of both Chinese domestic and foreign policy--a struggle that need not necessarily always be peaceful.Finally, Xi''s ideological worldview also exhibits a new level of nationalist self-confidence about China''s future--derived from China''s historical and civilizational strengths but reinforced by his Marxist-Leninist concept of historical determinism and the belief that the tides of history are now on firmly China''s side. A powerful analysis of the worldview of arguably the most consequential world leader of our era, this will be essential reading for anyone interested in how Xi is transforming both China and the international order, and, most importantly, why?

She has mastered not only racing over hurdles on the track but also tackling challenges in her personal life—from lifelong battles with perfectionism and anxiety to persistent questions about her identity and whether she was enough.Her pursuit of perfection and people-pleasing continued for years until God broke into her story with his overwhelming grace, transforming love, and empowering truth.In Far Beyond Gold, Sydney will share aspects of her life story and personhood she has never shared publicly before, offering a more complex picture of who she is. She will inspire you to: Trade Review'U.S. Olympian McLaughlin debuts with a soaring testimony to the faith that helped her surmount anxiety, forge a new identity in God, and win gold at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. After squeaking onto the 2016 Olympic track team at age 16, McLaughlin battled imposter syndrome and crippling anxiety that crested during the Rio games, leaving her without a medal and full of regret. She vowed to return to the Olympics and arrived in Tokyo fueled by a renewed faith, which had ignited by her boyfriend (and eventual husband) Andre Levrone Jr., a former NFL player she'd met in 2020. Newly aware that her 'main identity [was]. . . a daughter of God,' McLaughlin ceded what she couldn't control, maintained 'confidence that His perfect will was going to happen,' and ended up clinching two gold medals. She renders her battles with anxiety, panic attacks, and low self-esteem in candid and unadorned prose, and her uplifting message to release 'other people's expectations' and instead 'find your identity in [Jesus]' resonates. Readers won't need to be athletes to find inspiration here.' * Publishers Weekly *

Book SynopsisAN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERAn electric, searing memoir by the original rebel girl and legendary front woman of Bikini Kill and Le Tigre.Hey girlfriend I got a proposition goes something like this: Dare ya to do what you want Kathleen Hanna’s band Bikini Kill embodied the punk scene of the 90s, and today her personal yet feminist lyrics on anthems like “Rebel Girl” and “Double Dare Ya” are more powerful than ever. But where did this transformative voice come from?In Rebel Girl, Hanna’s raw and insightful new memoir, she takes us from her tumultuous childhood to her formative college years and her first shows. As Hanna makes clear, being in a punk “girl band” in those years was not a simple or safe prospect. Male violence and antagonism threatened at every turn, and surviving as a singer who was a lightning rod for controversy took limitless amounts of determination.But the relationships she developed during those years buoyed her, including with her bandmates Tobi Vail, Kathi Wilcox, JD Samson, and Johanna Fateman. And her friendships with musicians like Kurt Cobain, Ian MacKaye, Kim Gordon, and Joan Jett reminded her that, despite the odds, the punk world could still nurture and care for its own. Hanna opens up about falling in love with Ad-Rock of the Beastie Boys and her debilitating battle with Lyme disease, and she brings us behind the scenes of her musical growth in her bands Le Tigre and The Julie Ruin. She also writes candidly about the Riot Grrrl movement, documenting with love its grassroots origins but critiquing its exclusivity.In an uncut voice all her own, Hanna reveals the hardest times along with the most joyful—and how they continue to fuel her revolutionary art and music.
